To permit versatile operation of a multi-station printing machine installation or system having a first printing machine subsystem for printing on a first substrate web which includes a plurality of printing stations (2-5) and accessory apparatus, such as dryers, coolers, folders and the like, and a second printing machine subsystem (11) likewise having a plurality of printing stations (12-15), dryers, coolers and folders, and wherein the first subsystem, additionally, includes auxiliary apparatus such as a lacquering unit (6), an adhesive application unit (21), and further paper handling units (22, 23, 24) which may be useful for certain printing jobs carried out by the further printing machine subsystem (11) but are not always used for printing jobs in the first subsystem (1), substrate web guide means (47-50, 53, 54) are provided in each one of the subsystems to guide the web from, for example, the further subsystem (11) to the auxiliary apparatus (6; 21-24) of the first subsystem and then, if desired, back to the remaining units of the second subsystem. The arrangement permits selective use of auxiliary apparatus units which are not always needed, and thus which are required, in the overall installation, only once. A synchronizing and control unit (10, l0') receives, in servo loops, input command signals from an input/output unit (55) and provides motor control signals, individually, to the drive motors (41, 43, 44) of the respective subsystems as well as to drive motors (42, 69) of the auxiliary apparatus, so that the auxiliary apparatus will operate in synchronism with the motors of the respective subsystem primarily handling printing on the respective substrate web (45, 46).
